America, take note: New Zealand has figured out a simple way to bring down home prices

Interesting article. With in a 1/4 mile of my home we have Apartments, town houses condo / duplexes etc. a restaurant and a tennis club with swimming pool. The people living in the apartments, townhouses, and people going to the restaurant etc use the street in front of our house. Stop signs are a suggestion, the need for speed is obvious. etc. No grand kids don’t play In the front yard. In Augusta we get heavy rains resulting in some minor flooding. Water runoff is monitored number f buildings on your property is regulated and you are taxed based roof and driveway surface area to provide money for water control. Denser housing creates problems for rain water run off.

I'll Not Agree Nor Disagree With This Article,
But There's Something I've Always Noticed,

Should Have The Laws, Rules, And Regulations Just Like Ours."
And "You Can't Do That To Me, I'm An American": Will Get You A Few Days Behind Bars.....
Maybe Just Because You're A Stupid SOB.

You can blame the progressive love of the Urban Growth Boundary.
